Yoga or Alexander Technique for headaches

Many headaches arise from muscle tension in the back of the neck, sometimes due to storing stress there, and sometimes from bad posture. Both these techniques can help your posture and make it less likely that you will store stress there. The Alexander Technique has also been shown to be effective in reducing the disability of patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease, and in improving pain behaviour and disability in patients with back pain.
